The Most Iconic Climbing Event

Rock Master is one of the most prestigious climbing competitions in the world, and there’s no better place for it than Arco, in the Garda Trentino.

Known as the mecca of climbing in Italy—and far beyond—Arco has been celebrated as the “home of climbing” since the 1980s, thanks to its legendary walls where the history of the sport was written. Among these walls stands the Rock Master wall, an iconic arena where the greatest climbers and champions in the world have battled it out. Today, Rock Master continues to shape the story of climbing—a celebration of passion that brings professionals and fans together in a unique experience. Whether you’re a skilled climber or taking your first steps into the world of chalk and climbing shoes, get ready to feel the thrill of the vertical.

Thrills on the Wall Since 1987

In 1987, at the foot of Arco’s iconic castle, the Rock Master was born on natural rock, kicking off an adventure that still thrives today. Since then, the world’s best climbers have been gathering here, making the event a must-see for enthusiasts and curious spectators alike.
